If you haven’t heard of virtual brokerage eXp Realty, then you’ve probably been living under a rock for most of 2018: The company’s parent company, eXp World Holdings, started publicly trading this year and crossed $1 billion in market share on its first day on NASDAQ.

EXp Realty COO Mary Frances Coleman has clearly built up a workforce to be reckoned with, even in this day and age of employee restlessness as the employment rate continues to rise and the next big opportunity is just around the corner — for workers with all titles, at all levels of experience. She’ll be talking about how to manage a restless workforce at Inman Connect San Francisco, July 17 through 20 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.

“One of the things I’ve been able to do in the past year is understand that if my focus is ‘how do I keep everybody here,’ then I’m missing the point,” explains Coleman. “If the people in the workforce today are all job-hoppers, then that means they want to be well-compensated for what they’re doing, be engaged, have fun at work, and create and build and contribute. So my mindset should be, ‘I want to hire all of those people,’ and whether they stay for 2 or 20 years, it’s still good to have that creative asset for as long as you have it.”

That’s because those creative people often come up with better ways to do their jobs — and if you’re a good COO, then you’ll listen to those folks; they’re not only making your business more efficient, they’re feeling engaged and happy to be contributing at work.

Vacation rental company Vacasa buys Sterling Resorts

Vacation rental management tech startup Vacasa isn’t slowing down its ambitions to conquer the market: this week, it announced that it has purchased Sterling Resorts, a vacation management company on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Sterling has changed hands before: it was bought by Pacifica Companies in 2015 and currently manages 450 homes. Now it will become a part of Vacasa’s effort to expand its presence in vacation destinations such as northern Florida, where Sterling is based. At the time of this latest purchase, Sterling’s home inventory was down from 585 properties in 2015. Vacasa has raised more than $200 million since its launch ten years ago. Founder Eric Breon said he was motivated to start the company after struggling to find a satisfactory management solution for a cabin belonging to his wife’s family on the Washington coast. Now Vacasa seeks to provide rental property owners with “a seamless experience…through innovative technology and local staf...

The building is a residential skyscraper that is currently under construction. (Photo credit: TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images) Getty A 2014 bill that aims to impose an additional tax on part-time New York residents—dubbed the “pied-a-terre tax”—has risen from the dead, largely in thanks to the recent record-breaking Central Park penthouse purchase by billionaire Ken Griffin. Griffin, worth an estimated $11.7 billion and No. 45 on the Forbes 400 , reportedly bought the $238 million-dollar apartment “as a place to stay when he’s in town,” according to his representatives. The purchase drew widespread attention to the financial losses that part-time and foreign property owners can cause the city. Bec...
